Mexico: Cartels infiltrating Texas

The Gulf Cartel has a hold on cities in Texas’ tip and coastal bend. McAllen, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Galveston, Houston and Beaumont are impacted most by the Gulf Cartel which mostly brings marijuana and cocaine into the area, according to the DEA. Drugs smuggled through the Gulf Cartel are mostly brought in through the area between the Rio Grande Valley and South Padre Island.

Every week in Houston, a relative of a Gulf Cartel leader receives 100 kilograms of cocaine, according to the DEA.

Moving West, Los Zetas control two cities and the Juarez Cartel has a hold on Alpine, Midland, El Paso and Lubbock.

Fausta, I work with drug-addicted and behavioral problem teens in alternative high schools in DFW area. The cartels are using these kids to do their dirty work. A drug counselor in one of the high schools was actually threatened by one of the cartels. They knew where her kids were in school, where her husband worked, and the license numbers on her cars.
